Random life & nails post :)

Hey guys!!! So I know I've been away, but I couldn't help it! I have been having so much fun with my family outside since it's been pretty nice.

Jack, Chloe and I are a family of sudden hobbiest, lol. Is that even a word? I'm too lazy to Google. We all tend to get really into something together for a few months, and I mean REALLY into it, lol.

About 2 weeks ago, Sears announced they were closing in a local mall, and everything was on sale, and well, I couldn't not check it out. We went looking for a pool/air hockey table, but they didn't have one that we liked, soooooo......we ended up purchasing a Doodle Bug mini bike, which we have renamed The Stinkbug, simply because Doodle Bug does not sound intimidating at all, haha. It is so much fun, and we have all been on it every night. Well, then Chloe had a hard time keeping up with us on the bike, her on her scooter. So the next week, everything at Sears dropped another 10%, so we all went back up, hoping they had another mini bike, so we didn't have to take turns. They did not, but TA DA, they had this adorable pink electric scooter!! Score! So for an early b-day present to Chloe, we got it. As soon as we got home we all ran outside and Jack started teaching her how to ride it. If you're friends with me on Facebook, I posted a short video.

Well, that's where I've been every night. Outside with the neighbors, they went and grabbed a scooter for their son, taking turns on the bike and scooter, and just enjoying some good old family fun. I've missed blogging, but my time away was totally worth it.

I thought I'd share some pics of Jack and I being complete dorks on the bike, and Chloe on her new scooter

(ignore my outfit, I literally had just gotten home from work, lol. The neighbors said all I needed was a

beret : P )

Also, last night, I decided to try and make these awesome cookies called Unicorn Poop!! Check out the recipe here. Well..... have you guys seen those NAILED IT pics? Here are the ones I'm referring to. They crack me up every time I see them.

and now here is mine, LOL. Jack has renamed them, Melted Crayon Cookies. At least they still tasted good.

Okay, just so I don't end this 100% off topic, lol, here is a quick swatch of Petites Periwinkle, that I did a few months ago. BTW, my nails right now, are in horrible shape. All this outdoor fun, has been rough on them, so I am now back to nursing them daily :)

Ur pic looks lik u are going on a highway if full speed.Zoom zoom!Nice post and ur girl is cuteee:) Check out my blog and follow if you like.I jus love all ur manis!http://prettyprincesspage.blogspot.in/

I wish my nails were in as rough shape as yours. lolLove the "beret" comment from your neighbor and totes agree with it! So cute!!I've really missed your posts, though. I check your site multiple times a day looking for what you've done with your nails. I've been rocking just a french mani for many, many years; I do my own fiberglass nails. Once I found your blog I became obsessed with nail colors. In the past month I have bought about 90 colors, Konad and Bundlemonster stuff and have been doing tape stuff like crazy. So yeah, thanks for hurting my bank account. ;) But it sure is fun!

Oh my gosh that bike looks liike soo much fun! Can't wait for the weather to get nice here so I can start doing all the outdoor things with my family. You have a such a beautiful family and sometimes it's nice to take a break from things especially if it means hanging outdoors.

I think your cookies aren't that far from the example picture. All they've got that's different is edible glitter and a very heavy blur effect.

I do love the "nailed it" concept though. I always thought of it as http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/close-enough the Close Enough guy, but taking a facetious delight in a truly mediocre product is much more fun.

LOLOL I absolutely LOVEE the nailed it pictures or the close enough memes...I crack up! That all sounds like super fun! You look so cute on the bike all dressed up haha :] And the nail polish looks great on you!

Haha, I agree with the neighbors beret comment, I was thinking your outfit was very French! Also, it almost looks like someone is standing out of the frame pulling the end of your scarf to give you a wind blown look, haha! OMG that cookie monster Nailed It cracked me up! LMAO! Your rainbow cookieslook yummy! And that polish is gorgeous!!

I wish I could keep nailpolish on for more than 24 hours! For some reason, it always starts to peel off. I've tried all kinds of basecoats & topcoats, in all kinds of combinations but the polish peels off anyway. I'm so jealous!

Well apparently she never leaves it on long enough to peel off, she love to change her polish, she said sometimes 3-4 times a day. lol I wish she would come back, I love her blog and I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

She had a phase where she left for many, many months recently, I suggest you read the return post to see why.I don't know if your blog will ever be posted regularly in again, but we miss you Erika! I've never seen nails as perfect as yours! Please keep us updated, I was a longtime reader. Hope you're doing well!

Quick question, if Essence or Catrice is available in your country, could you maybe please do some reviews or tutorials on it? I love nail polish, but I'm a student so I can't go for the expensive polishes. I think the most I've spent on a Catrice/Essence polish is about 3 euros, so they won't bankrupt people. ;) Thanks anyway! Love your blog!

Just wanted to say, we love you and miss you and can't wait 'til you return! I realize that will be on your own terms, when you're ready, but whenever that is, we'll still be here! There are a lot of nail blogs out there, but yours is by far my favorite.

Hey! May I share with you two wonderful nail arts?Here you are:http://www.youpaparazz.com/it/scoops/nail-art-tutorial-fai-da-te-gocce-di-vernice-colorate-videohttp://www.youpaparazz.com/it/scoops/nail-art-tutorial-frutta-mirtilli-blueberry-nails-videoXOX

In India, where starters have great passion for nice effects on nails, basic designs are always aspired. Nail art in Delhi is also a great place where one could visit the nails at Zoe nails & practice at home. A smart hobby could make you go places in life & this is the beauty of a novice desire to learn nail art.

Reapply a clear top coat every two or three days to protect your art and keep your nails looking shiny. Apply cuticle oil daily. Treat your nails with care — wear gloves when gardening or doing other work, and exercise caution when performing tasks such as opening soda cans, as they may damage your nails.

Absolutely prolific..so easy on the eyes to have a great look on nails.I had read somewhere Zoe Nails doing sopme great stuffs.Interestingly, my tenure in Delhi, was also a great tryst with nail art in Delhi had such dsigns..Today I smiling at the super designs by you..Amazing..Do you have facebook page to like?

Just want to add along with everyone else---hope you're okay. And if you're not okay right now, try to remember it's a process and setbacks happen, but you'll get past them. You aren't alone. We're thinking of you. And know that you haven't let anyone down. Do whatever makes you happy. Take care!

We Miss You Chloe! I Was Always So Inspired By You, I Found A Link To Your Blog About A Year Ago And Ever Since Then Have Been OBSESSED With All Things Nail Polish! Visiting Your Blog Was The Highlight Of My Day ! Please Come Back When Your Ready ! Love, Nia :)

Hi, Erika! I just found your blog by way of Pinterest, and I have to say - of all the nail blogs I follow (at least 20 right now), this one has to be my favorite, hands down. I'm a newb in the nail stamping/art world, and your style and color choices just really speak to me and inspire me. You are immensely talented! I have dozens of your posts bookmarked as looks I can't WAIT to try. :)

From one blogger to another (I blog about stamping, too - the rubber-to-paper variety) who has also taken long blog hiatuses for one reason or another, all I will say is that I hope you and your family are well. :) Not many realize that blogging is a lot of WORK. And sometimes we just need a vacation, if for ANY reason at all other than 'just because'. ;)

I have your blog in my blog reader now, so if you ever decide to come back, I'll be sure not to miss an update. But if not, I just want to say THANK YOU for what you have ALREADY shared... it's an invaluable resource and inspiration to so many.

I hope you'll see this message... thanks for hearing me out. :) Best wishes! xxoo

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.Rinoplasti

Spoke to her u guys!!!! She is fine but has anxiety about openig the blog and finding pissed off commentors and followers. but i said some encouraging words and told her not to rush herself. she has hope that she can come back soon. great to finally kno that she is doing well

Great news !!Thanks for the update, I was wondering.Don't think I've ever commented the blog, but read it I do !!It's a great blog, full of ideas & wonderfull pictures. + I always have fun reading.So hopefully it will get updated ugain !

I'm happy to hear that too. This nail blog is the first one I happened upon. Erika's ideas and irrepressible personality drew me into the wonderful world of nail art. I now read dozens of blogs periodically but you never forget your first love, y'know? I'm ferocious online when I see her nail art not being credited or linked to. I stopped by here today because it's exactly one year since she stopped blogging and I confess I was hoping to see a post from her just checking in. We all miss you, Erika. Take care of yourself and your family. Your online nail fans want the best for you. Anyone who posts a pissy comment can just go dunk their head in a toilet. Or, better yet, start their own blog and keep off of yours. Ciao for now. Like many others, I hope ton see you return but only when you're ready. :)

Very relieved that she is ok. I have made visiting the blog part of my computer time routine;there is nothing to be anxious about. The people who are angry just need to be respectful and move on if they are no longer a fan. I've learned so much from Erika - even printed out photos of her manis I take better care of my own nails by following her advice. Hope she continues to feel better. (-:

So glad to know she is ok! I honestly thought something bad happened to her and thought we may never know. I don't know her, but always checked the blog to see if anything was posted from her or someone that knows her. Glad I looked again and through the comments today :) I don't think anyone could possibly be angry at a Blogger for living their life and not be on the computer when they don't want to be. If she doesn't even want to come back I would fully support her on that. Although, I would love for het to come back :) I have anxiety about a lot of things so I fully understand. This was probably seeming more like a job to her, but many bloggers don't post 2 times a week. I'm sure she wants to give us the best her she can on her blog, but we will be blessed to get even a moment of her time. The only people she has to give her best to is her family :)
